Actually, thats the second time u havent answeredmy question of who the real grateful dead moderator is. Is it u??? Is this a game that u have cooked up??? I notice my account was duplicated on the same nite u posted ur grand essay. Its kind of obvious that ur not truly empathetic, & yet u still take the time 2 hopscotch around my question. Cant sumone who's always bragging so much about their writing skills answer simpl questions???????Maybe ur Tollundism all along!!!! I will tak this 2 the management of the Grateful Dead 2 let them know what is happening/ it may take time. I want them 2 read the lack of resposes/ lack of help from key ppl who self-elected themselvesgods of the band's forum. Oh, & my boyfrien is a great proofreader & ill seem less like a tard, i promise. Hes probly better than u.

splue; there is no moderator here per se. This forum has always been that way.

There have been all sort of shenanigans over the years:

A few years ago there was a poster known as "smil2es" (or similar) AKA "bellski". This was a sad individual with severe sexual issues which involved him posting pictures of children. He managed to wind up two of the regulars here (who shall remain nameless, but those of us who have been around a while know who they are). In the ensuing paranoia and witch-hunting, some genuine posters were believed to be incarnations of "smil2es" and were wrongly harassed by these two until they left.

A lot of the "old crew" upped and left too. Some went to "DullHook" others went to "Speeding Arrow".

Around this time kochman showed up and was to all intents and purposes a genuine poster. He too was run off the forum by these two unofficial "moderators" and went to set up his own forum called "The Lost Sailor's Pub". He never really got over this feud and when the wheels finally fell off "The Lost Sailor's Pub", he became active here again, using many different identities and becoming more and more paranoid.

I am not sure all the current "crazies" are kochman. I think it is more than coincidence that 'Noise Collector" has shown up again. He was always notorious for multiple posting: e.g. "Telephone Tough Guy" and his racist views.

I have only got involved in all this because "Skobud" (also the proprietor of "The Transitive Axis" forum, which is probably losing its wheels too), really believes I am kochman.

To be honest, I'm past caring anymore.

Edited for crap spelling. Where is rob-the-spell-checker when I need him ?

"I think it is more than coincidence that 'Noise Collector" has shown up again. He was always notorious for multiple posting: e.g. "Telephone Tough Guy" and his racist views."

1. How dare you accuse me of doing anything you have no proof of. Shown up again? I have been on the archive non stop since 2006. NEWSFLASH there are other fourms on here besides this one (I actually run one).

2. How dare you accuse people of being racist because they are not liberal cheerleaders for wealth redistribution. Or was it the insensitivity to terrorists that want to kill jews, black, white, chinese, christians, gays, infidels, etc.? Last time I checked racism was judging someone by the color of their skin, not the content of their character... show me where I, or anyone I ever associated oppressed or attacked someone for being any particular color.

3. BLOW ME

I have a family, a full time job, and full time school and no time to even finish my songs and videos (which is killing me), let alone feed your paranoid multi-posting fantasies. Ironically you say you were falsely accused of being the Jerry Beckochman your self, irony.

Keep my name out of your unfounded and baseless accusations and I will keep you out of my songs and videos.

I am gross and perverted Im obsessed n deranged I have existed for years But very little had changed I am the tool of the government And industry too For I am destined to rule And regulate you I may be vile and pernicious But you can't look away I make you think Im delicious With the stuff that I say I am the best you can get Have you guessed me yet? I am the slime oozin out From your tv set You will obey me while I lead you And eat the garbage that I feed you Until the day that we don't need you Don't got for help...no one will heed you Your mind is totally controlled It has been stuffed into my mold And you will do as you are told Until the rights to you are sold That's right, folks.. Don't touch that dial Well, I am the slime from your video Oozin along on your livinroom floor I am the slime from your video Cant stop the slime, people, lookit me go[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/frank+zappa/im+

"I think it is more than coincidence that 'Noise Collector" has shown up again. He was always notorious for multiple posting: e.g. "Telephone Tough Guy" and his racist views".I doubt it...ino, NC is a good person and no racist. TTG is a seperate individual...some could also screw with his lower case L's in his handle. Btw, is it racist if you hate all races equally? Like, the human race is basically a bunch of knuckle draggin monkeys with bigger brains -lol

thank u Jacky,( & thx 4 that info!!!)i told Mr Kahle that someone cloned my acct & he vry decently responded back in a forum so maybe my misfortune will help u guys in the long run as i leave/ i rly hope so!!!! I think they should probly ask 4 copies of ppl's drivers licenses like when u get a library card at other libraries

my guy told me about *some* of that u typed/ i feel like a idiot/ i know 1 thing/ this whole situation has made me smarter/ i m sad for IA tho

Splue; please don't feel like an idiot. This place is a jungle. You are not the first to learn that the hard way.

It would be good if you stayed around though. Just pick a screen name with no L's or i's in it, then it is harder for someone to do what was done to you this time.

By the way, when the truth about the whole "smil2es" episode came out, it turned out that half of the "Good ol' regulars" here were at the multi-posting malarky. The very same people who got uptight about it publicly.

The only people who I could say with certainty who were not multi-posting were; 'Rab C' wordsmith and highflow.

Came across them a couple of days ago and I'm finding a lot to enjoy. It's kind of raga-grass - that'll make sense if you listen!

I have to say that it crossed my mind a couple of days ago just to give this place up, and then I thought, well fuck it, why the hell should I? Stay with it Mr Flow - we can turn things around. I'm just sorry I added to the problem.

Thanks Rob. I'm checking it out now. As I said, I'm here for the music....that's for the duration. As for the forum, I'm realistic.....the forum will be here when I come looking for tunes and I'll probably have to read a few posts and maybe drop a comment or two. That's way it's been and I suspect it will stay that way.
